I do not see how commenting that out is a good idea if that comment is
correct. Instead, it appears to me to be a bug in the
gconf_ping_daemon. If the gnome-terminal can run just fine under sudo,
then the gconf_ping_daemon should be using the actual user ID, not the
effective user ID to try to get the running gconf process.
Since I know for a fact that I am running X and GConf is accessible,
then this function does not appear to be detecting the daemon
correctly.
